PHOTOGRAPHY
These

a part of
Advanced Pho-
tography course.
We created a
small set and
tried showing
a story through
the photographs.
All the
photographs are
taken using
Canon 500 D.

CLAYMATION
“As you like it”
is a fun project
done as a college
assignment. The
theme of the
story is Facebook
and how people
have gone
crazy for the
publicity and
likes they get on
their posts.

“CLAYMATION”

video.
PIXILATION
“Metalhead” is a
small spoof on the
character
Magneto from
the X-Men series.
The video revolves
around a person
who thinks he has
powers like Mag-
neto and tries to
attract metallic
things. Turns out he
actually has those
powers, but just
doesn’t know how
to control them.

TION” to watch the

BACKGROUND
These layouts and blue
render are a part of the
Background and Layouting
course. We were provided with a story of which
we had to make a story board.
From the storyboard a
panel was selected for its
background and layouting.
CHARACTER DESIGN
This is the character
designed for the Character Design
course. In the course, we took a person from our batch and based on their physical
attributes, we designed a dif-
ferent character.My character’s
name is Ms. Mew.
FEAR
These are a few stills from an ab-stract animation done as a studio assignment. The
theme for the animation was “Bhaya Rasa”
or the emotion of fear. The mu-
sic piece was provided by the faculty and the
assignment was to make abstract
animation on the same. Click on “2D ANIMA-
TION” for the full movie.
COLA-COLA
These are stills from a 2D flash animation I did
as a studio assignment. “Cola-Cola”
talks about the changes that
take place in a human body in
an hour after having one can of cola. Click on “COLA-COLA”
for the full video.
MAYA MODELLING
These are the two models I created using
Autodesk Maya. The assignment
was to model a human body.
And then changing one of its parts to make a crea-
ture of our own. Thus, I replaced the head with a
skull. Along with the skull I added horns and a tail
to make a demonic crea-
ture.
MAYA TEXTURING
As a part of basic
texturing
assignment, I
textured a simple
box as a wooden
crate and
another as a dice
using the help of
Photoshop and
bump maps.
MAYA LIGHTING
The assignment was to create a chosen ambi-ence through lighting. The
textured mod-el of the room was provided
to the students. The first picture
(above) is the composed layer which I achieved
using Adobe Photoshop. The ones below are colour pass and occlusion pass respectively.
For the video, click on
“INTERIOR- ROOM”.
The second part of the assign-
ment was to do exterior lighting
on a castle. A textured model of a castle was
provided by the faculty. The first picture is the composed layer achieved
using Adobe Photoshop. The ones below are colour pass and occlusion pass
respectively. For the video, click
on “EXTERIOR - CASTLE”.
MISCELLANEOUS
‘BOOK COVER DESIGN’
I wanted to explore a few elements of
graphic design. For the same I
did a book cover design of the
novel “Does he know a moth-er’s heart?” as
my first explora-tion. I aslo de-signed a small
and simple form to depict moth-
er and child which I used in
two of my covers.
This is maga-zine layouting I did as another
exploration. The first lay-
out is designed by me and the
second, i.e. the one below is the origional
spread of Kyoo-rius magazine. My objective
was to keep the content of the
origional spread same without cutting out on anything, and making a new
layuot.
SKILLS
I like to play with different
mediums so that I understand
what medium suits the best to
communicate different emo-
tions. These are a few explora-
tions I tried with mediums like
dry pastel, char-coal and water
paints.
ILLUSTRATIONS
These are a few illustrations done
in college and others as a hob-
by. Few which are assignments
have a sroty is related to them. Others are just an imitation of my thoughts. I
have tried work-ing with different
mediums like charcoal, post-
er and water paints, dry pas-tels, sketching
pencils, coloured pens, etc.

SKETCHBOOK
These are
a few
compositions
and rough
sketches
from my
sketchbook.
I am an ambitious and determined person. To me world is a sea of talent and it inspires me everyday. I find stop motion a very interesting way to communicate
ideas. Having my ideas conveyed through this medium is enjoyable to me. I am a very active and jumpy person which I think helps me as an animator. I am passionate
about comics and concept art and would like to pursue it in future.
